What if you flush your output with flush (from OutputStream)?

@Alf - it should make no difference, since a FileOutputStream is not buffered. IIRC, the `flush()` method is implemented as a no-op in this case.

Firstly, unless something really weird is going on, "/dev/fb0" is a device file not a pipe. [This is a nitpick, but if you use the wrong terminology, 1) people won't understand you and 2) you will have difficulty searching for answers.]
Secondly, this looks like a weird way to interact with a framebuffer!!
I suspect that the problem is that you need to do the equivalent of a POSIX lseek call to set the stream position to zero each time you draw a frame. I've found two ways to do this:
Use RandomAccessFile instead of OutputStream / FileOutputStream, and call seek(long) to seek the file.
Call FileOutputStream.getChannel(), and then use position(long) to seek the file.

Changing the Output Stream to RandomAccessFile fixed all of my problems. I bet the stream wasn't working because it can't seek to position 0. Thanks to all who replied.
